What I Am Buying Today.

[cemanuel]

I'd give it a few days before worrying about it. I saw a lot of comments over on SA about several brokers that do not have cost basis worked out yet, and even a few folks saying they got double the number of WBD shares than they should have. Although it seems like it should be pretty straightforward, I'm sure they're still doing the math and updating the databases and it will propagate down eventually.

My favorite example of this is after a split. For a brief, shining moment before Fidelity adjusts the CB to account for the increased number of shares my account balance has me wondering about buying a small island in the Caribbean. I have to catch it just right though. Hoping I can for the Alphabet split this summer, I own a whole honkin' lot of it (a little AMZN).

Strangely, when I had MFs in my retirement account it would show up in my account as a loss in the stock which can be calculated as: "(Old SP-New SP)/new# of shares." The account balance wouldn't change but the daily loss number would have me wondering how I missed the advent of The Next Great Depression. I had a moment of panic the first time this happened.
